One is the invitation to the selection committee candidates for the =isobedience prize and the other this the "design and science =9D stuff which is "one science" idea written up. http://jods.mitpress.mit.edu/pub/designandscience No one wins a Nobel Prize by doing what they're told. The =merican civil rights movement would not have happened without civil =isobedience. India would not have achieved independence without the =eaceful but firm disobedience of Gandhi and his people. And the Boston =ea party would not have been the opening act of the American =evolution. The robustness of the MIT Media Lab is in part due to disobedience and =he Lab's ability to manifest it in a healthy and creative way. =he Media Lab is therefore celebrating the importance of disobedience =ith an annual prize. Beginning this summer we will confer the =isobedience Award on what we believe is the year's most =nteresting, creative, impactful and bold act of disobedience in any =iscipline or geography. As someone who exemplifies disobedience as an instrument of change I =nvite you to join our 2016 Disobedience Award selection committee. With =our help we will choose the recipient of the prize for the most =ourageous act of disobedience over the past year. The time commitment =ill be modest: your nominations for the prize and comments on potential =ecipients as we work toward a short list. We plan to present the award =t the end of the Media Lab's summer symposium on July 21, so =he selection process will run from April through June of 2016. I look forward to working with you!
